Gregory was born and raised in Santa Rosa, attended college out of state and has resided and worked in different locations and fields in both California and other states. His Real Estate Sales license was issued in October 1979. At that time he joined the local MLS (now Bareis), National Association of Realtors®, California Association of Realtors® and the Northbay Association of Realtors®. He is a Realtor® and feels strongly that the Realtor Code of Ethics will always govern his real estate business. In 1985 he received his Real Estate Broker license and opened his own office which gave him the valuable experience of being his own resource, learning where to seek out necessary answers, and a firm foundation in contract reading, understanding and implementation.  When the time came to affiliate with a Real Estate Brokerage he chose Solid Properties. The Broker/Owner, Joe Pheffer, is a long time friend and Gregory considers him to be very knowledgeable and principled and among the top in the business.
